By masks, I mean individual facets of personality or history which are taken as defining of me in one way or another. Sometimes I deliberately wear a 'mask' to protect myself or to protect others. Sometimes people take a mask that I am wearing at one time because it is the primary appropriate way of being seen at that time, to define all of me.
I classify my masks in two categories:
- "Current masks" - these are names that are currently used or activities that are currently in progress.
- "Past masks" - these are accomplishments or activities no longer engaged in.
A "Past mask", however, is still a mask that can be actively worn; saying "I was x" or "I have y" is just as much of a mask as saying "I currently do z".
There are also some hidden masks; these are masks that I don't feel comfortable sharing on the web.

(note. When an office or activity is indicated, these are -past- offices and activities. I no longer hold offices or positions, or perform activities, that are listed under this section. However, they do indicate the ability to slip myself into a mindset of these activities, and to put on a 'seeming' of currency related to these activities when appropriate.)
